Merry Christmas to all my Snow Central friends and family!

is it still there?? i have only stopped at Two Fat Guys, "Ashe Hole" now that's a cool name!

Happy Birthday heckler56!! Thank you for all your help with eastern U.P. routes last year!

ooooh yeah! Blink Bonnies for sure! and Gateway Lodge! introduced to me by venturenorth last year!

was that the place that has lattice from the floor to ceiling?

We were having sled trouble one night and needed gas and it was very late, I cant remember where we were but someone phoned the owner of Rainbow and he met us there and opened up so we could get gas, sorry to hear its gone. We would have been in big trouble if it wasn't for them.

Last year we were about 2 weeks away from our trip and strongly deciding whether to cancel or not, conditions were not all that good and the forecast wasn't promising much better but in that two weeks it went from poop to almost stellar conditions. And yes I will admit I dont put much faith in...

what were some of your favorite stops on the trail that may or not be there any more from back in the day to the present? Back in the day...early 90's..... Mercer area.... Pine lake Lodge/ had biggest greasiest burgers this side of the Mississippi IMO...

I've been watching the same forecast and have fingers crossed as I am heading up Jan 16th, it looks good but will have to be substantial, the cold is also a big welcome. Big difference from the doom and gloom they were painting but I also thought I had heard the El'Nino was starting to dissipate...

Many fond memories, Getting up at 2 a.m. which ended up as we found out as we grew older was right about the time Santa (wink,wink) got done putting our presents out. I don't remember the year but got a "Green Machine"...I was the coolest kid on the block! and it was warm enough that year I was...

could you imagine?? that would be the end of back pack trips, 100+ mile trail rides, jam ups at charging stations. That would be the end of the sport for me and Id be willing to bet for other than the techies who think this shit is cool it would be the end of an industry and businesses who rely...

not even close, i do know however my sleds are still in the trailer, looked the other day LOL

Thank you Nora, very well written and inspirational for us all, he will be missed by us all and on the same token I'm sure we are all here to help when or if needed. Thank you again!

Have a couple trips planned with some Dee'rs this year, fingers crossed, last year we were strongly considering cancelling the guys trip a couple weeks before and mother nature pulled through for us.

Ill say it again...WHAT A VIEW! but not for this time of year, would rather be looking at a winter blanket right now. I feel for the businesses up there. Even the snow haters have no idea of the importance of snow to so many industries and people,

Wife and I drive through something like that last year from L'anse to Watersmeet when that big storm rolled through in February, luckily it wasn't night like you were driving through..YIKES!! was hard enough telling where the road was in the daylight.

lost of doom and gloom being painted with this seasons weather patterns. I can remember riding in northern Wisconsin in the middle of December, then it was new years and as time went on, that got iffy and conditions forced our trips out further and further until one year we trailered from our...

Living the dream! congrats to the new owners, not too hard to image falling in love with the U.P. I admit I am jealous of them, look forward to stopping in and nice to see a U.P. mainstay will continue to live on!!

"I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice" LOL X1000!!!

I imagine it was the loctite that was holding it in? a little shop trick, if you have a higher wattage output electric soldering gun, put the tip of the gun on the head of the bolt for a few minutes, will heat and liquify the loctite and make for easier removal without having to use a torch...
